Message:: [QUOTE="Lord Geoff, post: 1721329, member: 42001"]The problem is that sellers could in theory take advantage of the system by purposely putting false descriptions in the title and then relying on the item description to be like "Hey he should have perused the fine print!" Do you think it would be fair if someone put up in the description "Genuine Superman #1 Comic from 1963" or whatever (I know nothing about comics) and then in a 3 paragraph long description there was a word in parentheses that said "Replica"? Again no one is saying that is what you did.  It is an awkward situation and it comes about as both the seller and buyer are at fault.  If you even view the title of the auction as separate from your normal description, then you have two conflicting descriptions.  Is this fair?  On the other hand, is there a point that the buyer should be as careful as possible?  Sure. No one is saying you are being snide or anything else.  My point though is that you should understand that there are two perspectives to what happened here.  And it so happens that the venue you sold them on generally sides with the side you are not on.  So when/if you lose, it is not "just on a whim" or you were "walked all over."[/QUOTE]
